    Enterprise Architect can be used to capture business requirements, design and management of all successive models, algorithms, process flows/workflows, design of business data objects and other artifacts. The strong point is the ability to link the items in all models with each other, the more time the analysts and designers "invest" into making nice and clearly defined models, the higher the future pay-off by any successive changes to the systems. Enterprise Architect is not a good tool for capturing rather unstructured business requirements, use e.g. Confluence or other solutions instead. EA should comprise the extracted models with very little unstructured information. Management of the changes process should not be done in Enterprise Architect, rather use JIRA/Confluence or similar.

    • Open Architecture - A wide and extensive set of options, plug-ins and customization options make Sparx EA more of a tool kit than just a tool. Most tools allow customization but Sparx EA is built from the ground up with this in mind.
    • Wide variety of formats, lexicons, standards and data import export capabilities allow different roles to interact with the information in different ways.
    • Automated report generation allows architects and designers to spend less taking on word processing and more time on performing architecture and design.

    • Could not find source revision management integration support
    • Only basic debugging is available
    • Does not have data-science-specific notebooks (but can be installed separately)

    The IDE Python IDLE is a good place to start as it helps you become familiar with the way Python works and understand its syntax.
    This IDE allows you to configure the environment, font, size, colors, .....
    It also looks like any simple text editor for any operating system, I work with Windows or Linux interchangeably, and you don't have to learn to use the IDE before programming.
    Once the IDE is executed you can start programming directly in it.

    Python IDLE support is what the community can give you. As it is free software, it does not have support provided by the manufacturer or by third-parties.
    In any case, for most of the problems that normal users can find, the solution, or alternatives, can be found quickly online.
    As this IDE is made in Python, the support is the same group of Python developers.

    It's easy to set up and run quick analysis in Python IDLE on my local machine. The output is direct and easy to read. But sometimes I prefer Jupyter Notebook when the datasets are large, since it would take too long to run on my local machine. It is easier to run Jupyter Notebook on my cloud desktop

    BiZZdesign represents a different new concept to enterprise architecture, its gravity center is not technical modelling, but rather a view on capturing the whole end-user experience or customer journey. It also allows to grasp areas as internal company capabilities, required for adoption/changes and operation of the solution, uses the same Archimate modelling language. This solution is in my opinion a new generation enabling to not only design the solutions, but also manage the whole application portfolio with respect to capabilities and requirement parameters.

    Return on Investment
    Python Software Foundation
    • In a short time, we were able to develop several ML models for various teams to make accurate decisions.
    • Beginners can easily understand and adapt to GUI.
    • We could automate several manual validation tasks and so could reduce human intervention.
